What struck a chord with you from City Church’s last service?
The story of your life.
- The title of Pastor Obie’s message was “Raising World Changers.” Share a time in your life when your world changed for the better because of someone else’s actions.
- One thing we looked at was how one’s perspective determines their perceived reality. Share about a time when you began to see something with a new understanding because you saw it from a different perspective.
Digging deeper.
- One of the lessons we learned from the mother of Moses is that she studied the heroes of the faith for what to do. Hebrews 11 offers a list of heroes from the Old Testament, often referred
to as the “Hall of Faith.” Read the chapter in its entirety and answer the following questions.
- Which “hero” stuck out to you the most?
- Have you ever been in a situation where you drew inspiration from a biblical figure’s story to get through yours? Please share your experience.
- Pastor Obie spoke about being secure in your identity in Christ. Read the verses below, then answer the following questions.

- 1 John 5:18.

- As Jesus followers, we are called to the “great commission” of making disciples. In a sense, we are therefore expected to be “world changers.” Though you may not change the entire world like Moses and his siblings did, you can still change the world of a small group or individual. In what practical way can you help make a positive impact, change or improvement in someone’s world this week?
Personal reflection and application.
